TAKING GENERAL PICTURES (Effective Range: one meter (3.3 ft.) «>)
When the lens is on the wide-angle side, part
of the lens frame is seen through the view¬
finder, but it is not recorded on the film.
O Autofocus spot (Bring this on the main part of
the subject.)
O Picture-area frame (Ordinarv picture-taking area)
0 Parallax-correction frame (Since the picture area
becomes slightly narrow in the macro shooting
or in the general-picture shooting of the subject
about one meter (3.3 ft.) away, compose the
picture within this frame.)
Depress the shutter-release button half-way, and
after making sure the green lamp O or red one O
shown at left lights up. release the shutter. If the
film is not in the camera, these lamps will not light
up properly as follows:
O Green lamp:
. When it lights up, you are ready to shoot.
. When it flickers, you should not shoot.
0 Red lamp;
. When it lights up, flash Is ready to fire.
. When It flickers, flash is being charged.
• The flickering of the green lamp indicates the
camera-to-subject distance is beyond the effective
range in the general-picture shooting or in the macro
shooting. In this case, adjust the camera-to-subject
distance so that the green lamp lights up, and release
the shutter. (When the camera-to-subject distance is
extremely short, the green lamp may not flicker.)
